Are you serious? forget it.

To answer your question, the terrorists do not comply with the Geneva convention. No, they don't. But since you mention "country", that I don't know.

Does the average American want a terrorist captive to tell what they know to protect the lives of Americans. The answer may be yes.
Yes, we have already been told by Trump that he will worry about learning how to be president by letting others make the decisions for him because he is clueless what the job entitles.

It took a long time for Chile to get Pinochet behind bars but they eventually did. There`s a good reason for Bush being forced to live in exile on a fake ranch in a horrible state. President Trump could end up being Gomer`s stable boy.

I agree with Trump on waterboarding, as well as many of his stated positions on his tweets. Does this mean I think he'd be likely to be a good President? Decidedly not.
